Also not was Kathy's 10 x 10' painted canvas floorcloth, the red, 
yellow, and green tablecloth-looking object to the right of the

A truly amazing set of wooden gears most of the toothed variety but a 
couple of lantern gears 
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cage_Gear.png) were in the set

There was also someone carving panels for a chest with gouges etc.  
Given everyone working bone with Dremels I was particularly pleased.
